Little Holm, Yell Sound

Little Holm, Yell Sound

Little Holm is a small island in Yell Sound, in Shetland. It lies between Northmavine and the Isle of Yell. There is a lighthouse here.

In 1983, the Royal Navy cleared ordnance from the area, and their bomb disposal team discovered an unrecorded shipwreck nearby. Its identity is still not known. [http://shetlopedia.com/Unidentified_Shipwrecks] [http://shetlopedia.com/Little_Holm_%28Yell_Sound%29]
